🇮🇱👁 Un exespía israelí sugiere una estrategia de "juego del gallina nuclear" contra EE. UU. sobre la tregua en el Líbano

Cuando EE. UU. intermedió un alto el fuego entre Israel y el Líbano en noviembre de 2024, el exespía del #Mossad Jonathan Pollard ofreció algunos consejos contundentes para el Estado judío: considerar la opción nuclear como una amenaza.

👉 Pollard recordó la Guerra de Yom Kippur en 1973, cuando el entonces Secretario de Estado Henry #Kissinger suspendió los puentes aéreos de EE. UU. hacia Israel en un intento de forzar concesiones diplomáticas.

Según él, Israel respondió posicionando un A-4 Skyhawk en la base aérea de Tel Nof, equipado con "algunas cargas útiles no convencionales interesantes", y dijo a EE. UU. que "miraran bien".

Sostiene que los puentes aéreos se reanudaron al día siguiente.

Preguntado si ese plan sigue siendo aplicable, Pollard dice: "Absolutamente, excepto que esta vez quiero que lo llevemos a cabo si es necesario".

The Iran War Just Broke the Petrodollar (Bloomberg)
https://archive.ph/20260406041307/https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2026-04-06/the-petrodollar-loop-supporting-the-treasury-market-is-broken
– 'The virtuous loop that has seen America underwrite stability in the Middle East in exchange for Gulf states recycling their dollar revenues into US Treasuries has been broken.
The understanding traces back to 1974, when Henry Kissinger struck one of the most consequential financial deals in modern history. Saudi Arabia would price its oil in dollars and park the surpluses in US assets — Treasuries above all. Other Gulf states followed. In exchange, America provided security guarantees and a stable global order.

The arrangement was elegant in its circularity: Oil consumers paid dollars for energy, those dollars flowed to Riyadh and Abu Dhabi, and from there back into Washington’s debt. For 50 years, this petrodollar loop quietly subsidized American borrowing costs and cemented the greenback’s role as the world’s reserve currency.
The US-Israeli war with Iran has fractured this arrangement — at both ends...'

** Kissinger was a pathological liar (...): In his introduction, Wells cites a top Kissinger aide, Helmut Sonnenfeldt, as stating that “Henry does not lie because it is in his interest. He lies because it is in his nature.”

The Kissinger Tapes | National Security Archive

Washington, D.C., March 19, 2026 - On August 10, 1973, National Security Advisor Henry Kissinger placed a call to Secretary of Defense Melvin Laird to complain about U.S. officials who were participating in congressional hearings to investigate the secret bombing of Cambodia. As the Nixon administration’s cover up was unraveling, Kissinger was angry that “these @*%&* over there are acting as if it happened on the moon”; he demanded that Secretary Laird defend the original Nixon/Kissinger decision to launch clandestine attacks on Cambodia.

More generally: the #Trumpezoids (I do not assume that the critical decisions are made by Trump as an individual) seem to think they can wield American imperial power to accomplish frivolous goals, in ways that would have appalled #Polk or #Seward or #McKinley or #Kissinger — and that power will emerge from their misadventures undiminished.

It won't.

Uncover Nixon & Kissinger's shocking role in the 1971 Bangladesh genocide—ignoring warnings while backing Pakistan's massacres. Gary Bass's "The Blood Telegram" exposes it all via White House tapes. Must-read:

@mossyrua That scenario is consistent with the general concept that the current performance of the #USA economy is much closer to its theoretical optimum potential than is the case for the economy of #Europe. The #USA currently benefits from an intricate network of alliances accumulated by decades or even centuries of astute empire building by people like #Seward, #McKinley, #Kissinger, etc. Trump is now squandering that. Meanwhile, #Europe hasn't even truly unified itself. It has a cornucopia of unrealized advantages to be gained — like an alliance with #China.

@InfoMgmtExec @georgetakei Yes, since the 1960s  

Back then they added a brand new prize to their #Nobel ceremony, Economic Sciences, so they could promote captalism.

And a few years later, in 1973, they gave prizes to Heinz Alfred #Kissinger (Peace) and to Nazi scientist Konrad #Lorenz (Medicine), basically honoring the bloody influence that radical German ideas often do have on our world.
